Busch has been awarded the contract of oil and gas system

Busch has been awarded the contract for engineering, procurement and fabrication of MEG Vacuum pump skids.

 

Busch will build and supply two complete MEG vacuum pump skids consisting of two liquid ring vacuum pumps LB1507A on a common frame in a closed loop re-circulating system.

 

The skid fabrication and assembly work will commence in Norway in August 2010 and to be completed by February 2011.

 

Busch see this as another step in being a major supplier for vacuum pumps and complete skid based systems in the demanding oil and gas market.

New Dolphin liquid ring vacuum pumps

Busch has introduced a brand new series of liquid ring vacuum pumps to the market: the Dolphin LX series is made up of eight different pump sizes of single-stage liquid ring vacuum pumps in block construction, that reach ultimate pressures of 33 hPa (mbar). The suction capacities cover a range of 25 to 455 cubic metres per hour.

All pump sizes of this new generation of liquid ring vacuum pumps are fitted with an impeller made of stainless steel. The pump sizes from 75 to 220 cubic metres per hour are also available as completely stainless steel versions. Thanks to the choice of materials and the extensive accessories programme, the Dolphin LX vacuum pumps can be deployed brilliantly in all areas of industry, even in critical applications. Combined with a gas ejector, ultimate pressures of 8 hPa (mbar) are reached. You can basically choose between three different operating modes: with the re-circulation system, the operating fluid is permanently fed and discharged together with the process gas. When the circuit is open, the operating fluid collects in a downstream container, where it is separated from the gas and then fed again to the vacuum pump. At the same time, fresh operating fluid flows into the vacuum pump. When operating with the closed circuit, the operating fluid is also collected in a downstream container and separated from the gas, after which it flows through a cooler before being fed back to the vacuum pump. When the circuit is closed, hardly any operating fluid is lost.

Busch vacuum pumps at "World Solar Challenge" in Australia

The "World Solar Challenge" is a 3.000 km race in Australia in which only solar operated vehicles are allowed to participate. One of the 38 participating teams was the Umicore Solar Team from Belgium. The team members are 14 former students of the International University College in Leuven/Belgium. In order to be able to repair carbon fibre damages during the race, the team took a R 5 rotary vane vacuum pump with them. With this vacuum pump the team was able to laminate and harden car body panels under vacuum after a crash. R 5 vacuum pumps are worldwide the standard vacuum pumps in composites material processing.

Innovation awards for Busch

Busch received two international innovation awards this October: In the middle of the month Busch received the "JEC Asia Award" in Singapore. This award appreciates the innovative activity of Busch in the field of nano technology and the development of composites materials. Last week Busch received the "AVK Innovation Award" in Stuttgart for the same development. Not only in the plastics industry Busch has been active this fall. In October Busch presented its vacuum pumps and systems at nine different trade shows in Germany, USA, Poland, the Netherlands, China and Singapore. The innovations in the nano technology market segment was developed by the Swiss company Composites Busch in cooperation with Huntsman.Huntsman is the leading manufacturer of resin systems based in Basle, Switzerland. In practice the new technology was used for the creation of a new generation of Busch ice hockey sticks. Ostensibly, ice hockey sticks have not much in common with vacuum pumps. However, the results of the research will be integrated into the development of new products in the field of vacuum technology. In Porrentruy Switzerland, Busch produces ice hockey sticks of carbon and fibre glass. These are formed and afterwards resin, which was developed with nano technology, is injected. This is the first ice hockey stick worldwide, which consists only of one piece. This production method has also the advantage that the ice hockey stick can be adapted to the individual needs of an ice hockey player. Therefore many top international ice hockey players order a Busch ice hockey stick where they can have an influence on the characteristics of the stick such as flexibility and the geometric form. In other applications of plastics processing Busch vacuum technique is used. This was demonstrated at the plastics trade show Fakuma in Friedrichshafen, which also took place in October. At the exhibition Busch displayed vacuum systems, which are used for material loading at plastics processing machines.

Busch presented the Mink claw technology with a higher suction capacity for the first time

At Fakuma Busch presented its new Mink version with a higher suction capacity for the first time: Many visitors were interested in the complete dry compressing vacuum generator, which can also be used for the material loading of an extruder.

With the new Mink MP 0500 Busch has a solution for the bigger extruders and therefore higher amounts of pellets. In plastic industry Mink claw vacuum pumps are used to carry pellets and additives from the storage silo to the extruder.

Mink claw technology is also used for the degassing of plastics in an extruder.

For this application Busch also presented solutions at Fakuma in Friedrichshafen.

Vacuum systems for the solar industry

At the end of September Busch presented its latest vacuum systems for the solar industry at the "24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Exhibition" in Hamburg.

Busch vacuum pumps are used for the production of solar modules worldwide.

The feedback at the exhibition was great. The fair takes place every year in different European cities. After Milan and Valencia the exhibition was held in Hamburg this year. People from all over the world visited the exhibition.

For the production of solar modules Busch vacuum technique is required in different processes such as the production of silicon, the lamination of solar modules and for the different coating processes.

Busch supplies innovative vacuum systems.

A lot of foreign solar experts, mainly from Asian countries visited the booth where the latest vacuum technologies presented.
